Virtual-reality business simulation games (VRBSGs) have garnered attention in management education. However, investigating the design of efficient VRBSGs from an integrated perspective of social cognitive, self-determination, and cognitive load theories is crucial but under-addressed. Therefore, this study developed a VRBSG learning system to…

This study aims to analyse the learning needs of college students with special needs, develop a Universal Design for Learning based learning application named AJAR MBK, and assess the efficiency of the AJAR MBK application. It used a research and development model adapted from the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and…

Background: Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments are hypothesised to offer a learning environment that satisfies basic psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness and competence, subsequently improving learning and motivational outcomes. However, the underlying mechanism of how basic psychological needs are fulfilled…

This research aims to explore the impact of Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) on the reading achievement of students with special needs, framed within Zhu's Theory of Smart Learning Environments and insights from Snyder et al. (2019) on technology in special needs education. The study addresses whether CAI can significantly enhance reading outcomes…

Addressing psychological needs in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has a critical role in developing learners' motivation to use CALL-related materials. Taking a self-determination theory into the psychological needs of CALL, the primary purpose of this study was to explore to what extent English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers…

Feedback is important to improve writing quality; however, to provide timely and personalized feedback is a time-intensive task. Currently, most literature focuses on providing (human or machine) support on product characteristics, especially after a draft is submitted. However, this does not assist students who struggle "during" the…

Inclusive learning opportunities lead to better outcomes for students with extensive support needs (ESN). In the absence of targeted intervention, however, students with ESN are unlikely to interact meaningfully with their peers or the general education curriculum. The literature describes evidence-based strategies in support of the meaningful…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning became the predominant mode of learning for 33 to 54% of students in Canada's three largest school boards. As inclusive practices continue to grow and online learning is now part of the Ontario curriculum, educators need guidance on how to support K-12 students with diverse learning needs in online and…

The integration of technology in entrepreneurship arithmetic that uses realistic mathematic education as the basis into learning processes is instrumental in creating understanding and problem-solving abilities among students. However, until recently only a few technology-based learning media have been developed to accommodate the aforementioned…

Peer relationships play important roles in middle-school students' individual development. Peer support is indispensable in computer-supported learning contexts. This study is designed to explore the connection between perceived peer support and deeper learning, while examining the mediating role of computer self-efficacy and perceived classroom…

Technology integration into classrooms is crucial for student success. It should be implemented beyond lesson planning and organizing information. Digital tools like Mastery Connect can effectively drive data-driven instruction to close learning gaps. The TPACK Model outlines the framework for successfully integrating technology into the…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, educators reported that the most affected group in distance education was special needs students. Educators also provided critical reports stating that special needs students miss or fail to understand activities in online education. The reason for this issue can be the lack of access to resources, the inability to…

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly OpenAI's ChatGPT, have transformed English language learning through Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) tools. This study examined the adoption of ChatGPT among university-level English learners employing the Hedonic Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM). An online survey was…

A student's profile defines the best way a student chooses to learn. It comprises information on student's characteristics such as background knowledge, learning style preference, goals, personality etc. The foremost challenge that the students experience in learning system is that they are unable to bring back relevant information based on their…

Mobile technologies illustrate a positive effect when used in mathematics learning. However, user experience evaluations are mostly quantitative. The study adopted a qualitative case study approach using semi-structured interviews to examine the experiences of educators at a special needs school in the Western Cape, South Africa. Thematic analysis…
